Flume - Some Minds feat. Andrew Wyatt

Here I pass the day in a most peculiar way
Watching ships out in the bay
And I swallow so hard
Am I too weak to fight?

Elderbrook - Could

Went on, for just a little too long
Went wrong, when you had too give up your gun
No change, the only thing that you should
It's okay, if you want to switch off you could

Garden City Movement - Move On

Fair chilled chocolates
Sides of them are kissing through the clouds
Looking as you sleep

The Flaming Lips - "Haven’t Got a Clue"

You used your money and your friends...To try and trick me
Rating: 3/10
Well, it would seem that in fact psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips haven't got a clue as to what a good tune sounds like, despite their strong start in 1983, and continued performances today. This song, from the album At War with the Mystics, starts in with some heavily processed, and unnervingly excited voices. This is continued with an off-tone chorus rising with grating reversed cymbals, and some sort of laser beam being fired at either side of my head, assuring me that I have not actually been tricked; the song is really just that bad. I guess the drums are well-tempoed, and with bells this may be the saving point of this track. However, the more you listen, the more you'll want to punch their faces. Truly.

Daft Cluck - Chicken Tonight (Doin It Right Cover)

everybody will be eatin' all the chicken tonight
Rating: Cluck
Daft Cluck is back with another, admittedly strange track. Despite the repeated reassurances that indeed everybody will be "eatin all the chicken tonight", we doubt that the clucking fowl will be entirely consumed. The chicken appear to be having small seizures throughout this tune, which brings into question whether or not various poultry were harmed in the making of this track. However, it rolls out with a smooth beat, but one can't deny that Daft Cluck has laid quite an egg.

Tiesto & Wolfgang Gartner feat. Luciana - "We Own The Night"

k-k-keep shining -ke-keep shining with desire
Rating: 6/10
Skating up in here with some space-age synths, Dutch disk-jockey Tiesto starts off this solid tune with a silky dance beat. Then, you're drawn back in by a rising bass and light keyboard sounds, which are finished off by the saturated vocals. This collaboration was definitely a success and, as stated by award-winning house producer Wolfgang Gartner: "I think 'We Own The Night is destined to be a classic. We were already happy with the musical part, but something special happened when Luciana came into the project and put her vocal touch on it. The only way I can describe it is...magic. I can honestly say this song is my favorite of all the collaborations I've ever done." Together, this trios soaring vocals and strong synth jabs only add to that massive unce when you pump up the bass.

Catching Flies - "Sunrays"

Rating: 5/10
Catching Flies creates a beautiful atmosphere of spacey sunshine in their track "Sunrays." The first song on his 2012 "The Stars EP," the lyrics are brief but subtle, telling of bathing in sunshine. The entire song is reminiscent of a peaceful voyage through nature or spacetime, while still making the listener feel like a cat napping on a sunny windowsill. This artful song is perfect for anyone who wants to chill or cheer themselves up. :) Check it out here.

KlangKuenstler - "Freudentraene"

Rating: 8/10
KlangKuenstler translates quite literally to "sound artist", and this man truly deserves his title. The orchestral rises played under a waving synth and soft beats give this piece the texture of a Van Gogh brush stroke. This trance/techno combo might get a little repetitive, but it had me leaning back and closing my eyes to anything but the music. And that's what it's all about.
